The moment the Valkyrie stepped out of the pod, Ben narrowed his eyes and noticed her.
However, he didn't recognize her as the Valkyrie from Thor 3.
This was because the Valkyrie before him hadn't been turned black for some kind of "righteousness."
In reality, her skin was fair, her face beautiful, and her long golden hair cascaded down her back. One could still faintly discern the look of someone who once surveyed battlefields with disdain.
Then, the Valkyrie looked down with a complex gaze, taking in both Ben and the unconscious Loki.
"Asgard, why do you entangle me like a nightmare?"
Her expression was sorrowful, and she sighed. But soon, her eyes turned cold. She picked up two circular devices, flung them through the air, and tossed them onto Loki and Ben.
In the movie Thor 3, Thor had been knocked out by this little thing more than once.
However, in reality, this wasn't a stun gun, but a neurotoxin. It was difficult for any living being to resist its power.
Ben wasn't worried. He only needed to transform into Diamondhead to remove parts of his body, or transform into Upgrade and directly make it a part of him.
After doing this, the Valkyrie scooped up both Ben and Loki onto the spaceship.
She didn't seem to recognize Loki, because the Valkyries had disappeared from the Divine Realm a long time ago.
Over the years, she had occasionally heard news of the Divine Realm from outsiders. However, she had always deliberately avoided it, turning a deaf ear.
"These two… they look so weak…"
Her gaze swept over Ben and Loki, and she was immediately displeased with their frail bodies.
At this moment, she was already debating whether to send them to the Arena or simply sell them to a mine to dig for ore.
Just then, Loki finally woke up from his coma.
Unlike in the movie, he had taken the full force of the Bifrost's energy. After falling onto Sakaar, he had been unconscious until now, thus becoming someone's prisoner.
How could he, who had always been the second prince, tolerate this?
Therefore, once Loki understood his situation, he immediately cursed at the Valkyrie.
"How dare you kidnap the Son of Odin, the God King of Asgard! Release me at once, or I will make you know the wrath of the God King!"
The Valkyrie had been too lazy to waste words on her merchandise, but upon hearing Loki's words, she turned back, somewhat surprised, with an indescribable complexity on her face:
"You are the God King of Asgard? Where is Odin? Has he died?"
She seemed to hold some expectation, but also some sadness.
Loki naturally wouldn't expose his own sordid affairs. He merely sneered, appearing profound and unfathomable.
"This is not something you need to concern yourself with. You only need to know my nobility and prostrate yourself at my feet! Otherwise, the Asgardian army will soon flatten this planet!"
"Neurotoxin."
The Valkyrie rolled her eyes.
She felt Loki was somewhat abnormal, saying such things: "I must have had too much to drink to believe a madman like you."
She shook her head.
The throne of Asgard's God King would never go to Loki, because at this moment, Loki looked too much like a clown.
"If you are truly the God King, then I suppose Ragnarok is not far off for Asgard."
"You dare look down on me?!"
Loki was instantly enraged.
He could tolerate the humiliation he had suffered these past few days, after all, he was indeed not strong enough and couldn't defeat others, so it was his own fault.
But this woman before him dared to mock him?
More importantly, the Valkyrie dared to say in front of him that he was incapable of ruling Asgard!
This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury, rubbing salt in the wound.
"I will let you know what it means to be the First Mage of the Nine Realms!"
Loki's face was filled with malice.
The next moment, two daggers appeared out of thin air in his hands…
Yes, the First Mage of the Nine Realms took out his daggers.
And this wasn't even the most absurd part. The most absurd part was when the Valkyrie saw Loki preparing to resist and pressed the neurotoxin, the Loki who had been fiercely preparing for a great battle instantly turned into an afterimage.
"Ah—"
Another Loki screamed, revealing his true form, and fell straight down.
From his position and angle, it was not difficult to deduce that he was actually preparing to sneak away…
"First Mage of the Nine Realms? King of Asgard? Is that all?"
The Valkyrie said she almost laughed. Try evolving a bit further before coming back!
Then her gaze turned to Ben: "And you, how long are you going to pretend?"
The Valkyrie had clearly seen through Ben's act of feigning sleep long ago. Seeing Loki, who was "straightened out" for life, Ben finally opened his eyes and sat up.
"You're a Valkyrie?" he asked.
Ben hadn't noticed the Valkyrie's identity at first, but her attitude towards Asgard and Odin made him a bit confused. Then, he spotted the Valkyrie insignia on her arm.
The Valkyrie let out a soft hum, not responding. Instead, Loki sat bolt upright upon hearing Ben's words.
"A Valkyrie? Are there any surviving Valkyries in the Divine Realm?" Loki exclaimed, full of surprise. He then turned to Ben, "And who are you, kid? Where's that stinking rock?"
Ben didn't answer his question, instead continuing to look at the Valkyrie.
He had to admit, the Valkyrie before him was beautiful. Ben thought he much preferred this world that wasn't "correct."
"Valkyrie?" The Valkyrie scoffed. She picked up a bottle of wine and chugged it down, saying in an annoyed tone, "I stopped being a Valkyrie long ago, and I have no interest in getting involved in Asgard's affairs."
With that, she no longer spared Ben or Loki a glance, instead piloting her aircraft towards the Arena.
The aircraft flew erratically in the Valkyrie's hands, sending Ben and Loki crashing from one side to the other, almost making them vomit from the turbulence.
"You're drunk driving! On Earth, you'd go to jail for this!" Ben yelled.
But the Valkyrie ignored him.
About ten minutes later, the ship had traversed more than half of Sakaar, and in the distance, they could see the towering giant structure.
It was a gladiator arena with a cyberpunk style, a cube constructed from various mechanical parts, its top sealed.
A towering Totem Tower stood upon it, engraved with the likenesses of warriors who had achieved the Fighting Champion honor there over the years.
Ben glanced over and saw a new face currently being sculpted.
Its face looked gaunt and had four eyes, and the armor it wore had a pair of upturned horns on either side.
Ben felt that this face looked somewhat familiar.
But before he could think further, the Valkyrie stopped the ship.
"Next, I'm going to sell the two of you. I advise you to show respect to the ruler of this planet – the Red King."
